With the above and other objects in View, this invention consists of the novel construction, combination, formation'end arrangement of parts will hereinafter more fullv describe particularly cl claims--- polnted one in ille appended dl awings, in Wliici1:

Reference now being, has more partied larly to the drawings, wherein iilce pares illustrated by like references throughout tee several views, the leiter A indicates the frame of an autornobiieor other motor YE; nicle which provided with engine and which is to be supplied with gssolene. Mounted Within the said frame of the we liicle is the usual supply tank B which is to supply the gasolene to the motor through the supply pipe C. 'Mounted prefereb 32 upon the dash board of the vehicle is my imiaroveil time eon-trolling apparatus D which is preferably 1' sated somewhere between supply tank the motor of the vehicle and is provided *ith a valve,.wliich will be hereinafter described, for cutting cii' the supply of the gssolene from the supply tank to the motor at predetermined intervals- This improved time cont-rolling roeclm nism is mounted Within a casing which will shield the some so as to prevent tlie unauthorized tnlmperiug with or operation the mechanism contzilned therein. This ing is provided with an enlarged poetics. l0 and a smaller depending portion 11. Mount ed Within the recentacleformed by the large portion of the casing is my improved time.

controllingmecnnnism and mounted Within the compartment formed by the lower de: pending portion 11 of the casing is a duplex valve for regulating the fiow of gasolene to the motor of the vehicle and which is operated by the aforesaid time controlling mechanism The enlarged portion 10 of the casing is provided with a door 12 which has mounted therein a lock 13, whereby the may be concealed. The lower depending portion of the casing is provided with a removable lid 14. This lid has provided on its inner face in the lower extremity thereof a dog 15 which is adapted to rest within recesses l6 formed. on the inner face of the casing and its opposite end is provided with an inwardly lien-t portion 1'? which" is at right angles to t. e main lsody portion of the lid. This inthe' 1 upon brackets 5 through the apertures 35 formed within the i '12 will have to wardly bent, portion 17 is adapted to rest 18 formed within the casing and is adaptedto be secured rigidly thereto by means of set screws or the like. The depending portion 11 of the casing being somewhat greater in width than the upper portion of the casing, the door and lower extremity of the upper casing is ofiset as at 19 so that the same may lie flush with the lower portion of the casing. It will be seen from the foregoing construction that the door 12 of the casing can only be opened when the operator has a key therefor to gain access to the interior of the casing and to remove the lower lid of the casing the door be first removed and it is obvious from this construction that unauthorized persons cannot gain access to the contents of the casing. I

The duplex valve which is mounted in the lower casing 11 comprises a vertically extending casing 20, its lower portion being enlarged and divided into two compart-- ments 21 and 22 by means of a partition 23. The upper compartment 21 is provided with an intake port 24 and the opposite compartment 22 is provided with an outlet port 25 and the said ports are communicated with the supply pipe C which extends from the supply tank B to the motor of the vehicle. An angular shaped brace rod 26 is mounted within the'lower portion of the casing and is secured to the said duplex valve casing for holding the same in a steady position. The lower extremity of 'the valve casing 20 is provided with a removable plug 27, whereby access may be gained'to the compartments formed in said ,valve and'is used for cleaning purposes. Extending from the valve casing is a portion 28 having a pair of parallel recesses formed therein for the reception. of the, valve rods 29. These recesses formed within-the upper portion 28 of the valve casing communicate with the compartment?! formed within the valve casing and mounted within the lower ortion of each of these recesses is a screwthreaded plug 30 in which the reduced por tion 31 of the valve rod'operates and which will also prevent the flow of liquid into the recesses formed in said casing. Mounted within each of the said recesses is a coil spring 32 which normally holds the said valve rods in a raised position and the up. per extremity of the portion 28 is provided with recesses 33 in which operate pins 34' secured to said valve rods and will obviously prevent the rotation thereof.

The partition 23 mounted within the valve casing is provided with a pair of apertures' 35 which form a'communicationbetwen-the compartments 21 and 22. It is apparent that the liquid w' l how throughthe intake partition mounted within said valve casing through the outlet port 25 to the engine an to provide means whereby the liquid may be cut-off I have provided a pair of valves 36 and 37, respectively, which operate upon the lower and upper faces of the partition. The valve 37 i has a small coiled spring 38 mounted between the said-valve and the plug 30 mounted within the valve casing.

In Fig. 3' of the drawings, I have illustrated the duplex valve as in a closed position, thereby cutting off the supply of fuel to the motor'and in drawings I have illustrated the valves in an open and closed position and to provide means whereby these valves may be independently operated I have provided a double time controlling apparatus which is mountedin the compartment formed in the enlarged, portion 10 of the casing. This usual clockworks, together with improved means whereby the valves may be operated independently and at predetermined times.

This controlling mechanism is operated by a pair of spring operating motors E and F, respectively, which are mounted Within a support 39. A support 40 extends within the casing and has provided thereon means for connectingfthe motofs E .tively, with the duplex valve.

which are pivotally mounted at their apexes otally mounted as at l7 in the bifurcated extremities of the valve rods 29. Each' of angular shaped dogs 41 and 42, respectively,

A pair of brackets 49 are, mounted upon the upper tace of the support 40 and have slidably mounted adapted to engage the extremity of one of the arms of the dog 42 and extending from its central portion is a lug 5 1, the "purpose of which-will be hereinafter descri ed.

Extending from each of thespring motors E and F, respectively, tremity of which is squarnpl to receive an ordinary clock winding key and mounted on each of these stems is a meshes with a large gear wheel '54, each of these gear wheels" being rotatably mounted as at 55 upon the upper. face of the support '39.,Qflhe upper face or each of the gear wheels 54: is provided withnumerals run ning from zero to t6, the purpose of which port 24, then into compartment 21 and will be hereinafter described and stationarily mounted upon the upper face into the lower compartment 22 and then Figs. 5 and 6 of theas at 43.
